Not since Kraftwerk have five white guys with synths and guitars made such noise. Ladies and gentlemen, Hot Chip is here to ensure that you don’t forget to move your feet.

Playing the Gothic Theatre on Sunday, the U.K. band took on a disco-loving crowd with music that never stumbled and always kept the good vibes high. It was impossible to not think of Kraftwerk, what with Hot Chip’s over-the-top stage presentation. But what stood out was the group’s vocal prowess.

So many electro bands lack dynamic vocals, and so they employ guest singers who rarely tour with them. These Hot Chip boys cover the gamut from the hip- hoppy bass to the fluttering falsettos. And that always kept things fresh.
